How to constrain 3 d elements?
How to constrain 3 d elements?
(OP)
Hi,
I am new to FEM and I needed to know how to constrain a component completely meshed with 3d elements?I was constraining using SPC constraining all 6 degrees of freedom but I heard that 3d elements do not have rotational degree of freedom..So I am confused on how to constrain it using SPC or any other type of constraints..
Please help
Bharat

so you have to support with a 3-2-1 style of contraints.
